Mum jailed after nine-year-old son mauled to death by 'extremely powerful' dog
Tawnee Willis left Frankie alone in a caravan with the"extremely powerful" dog while she drank and took cocaine
Sentencing at Truro Crown Court, Judge Simon Carr said leaving the boy alone with the dog was"the height of folly". "She told the police that when she opened the door she could see a lot of blood on the floor and she could see Frankie lying still," the prosecutor said. Deni Matthews, defending Willis, said she had failed in that"fundamental principle" of protecting her child and had developed PTSD as a result of what happened.Ali Rafati, defending Totterdell, said leaving Winston with Frankie had been the"most awful error of judgement".In a statement after the hearing, members of Frankie's family on his father's side said they would never forgive the women whose behaviour was"selfish beyond words".
